Skin adaptation in lower limb amputees assessed through Raman spectroscopy and mechanical characterization (2025)
Journal Article

Following lower limb amputation residuum skin from the lower leg is used to reconstruct the residual limb. Unlike skin on the sole of the foot (plantar skin), leg skin is not inherently load bearing. Despite this, leg skin is required to be load bear... Read More about Skin adaptation in lower limb amputees assessed through Raman spectroscopy and mechanical characterization.

Evaluating the adaptation of the amputee skin owing to prosthesis use: a study using in vivo Raman spectroscopy (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction and aims Lower limb prosthesis has proven to be an extremely successful intervention for amputees. However, to achieve adequate function, the device places significant friction and load on the skin, which leads to substantial skin breakd...

Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system (2023)
Journal Article
Price, C., Parker, D., & Andrews, J. (2023). Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system. PLoS ONE, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0277971

Background
In-shoe pressure measurement systems are used in research and clinical practice to quantify areas and levels of pressure underfoot whilst shod. Their validity and reliability across different pressures, durations of load and contact areas... Read More about Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system.
